The hope is that pairing new students with someone in their field of study rather than a math major will provide a coach who understands their struggles and can provide help and encouragement. The mentor will benefit as well by reinforcing his or her own understanding.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve created a GeoPATH website <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/geopath\/\">here<\/a>, where you can learn all about the program!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GP-IMPACT: Career paths for urban geoscientists: Recruitment, retention, and apprenticeship That is the title of a new NSF-funded grant to our department (PIs: J.
